I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1890 - 1892: White Jade Beauty

Xiahou Dun calmed down slightly and said to a deputy general beside him, "Order all units immediately to cut off all routes into Xuzhou, and at the same time, inform Miao Chai to lead a thousand Tiger Leopard Cavalry to intercept Li Muyun along the way!"

"Xiao San, why are there only a few of you? Where are Linzi and Tiger Boy?" You have a good habit of remembering the names of people close to you clearly. Although sometimes they are just nicknames, for humble soldiers, it is a great honor.

Xiao San had at least multiple wounds on his body. Although none were fatal, his face was pale, a clear sign of excessive blood loss.

"Lord, Tiger Boy and the others all died in battle, but they died with honor. We didn’t suffer any losses—we even managed to take down the famed Tiger Leopard Cavalry!"

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!" You exploded in anger, hurling abuses at Xiao San, "They were my brothers!"

At this moment, including you, everyone’s eyes were filled with tears, countless crystalline droplets tracing arcs in the air with the jostling of the horseback ride.

After that, everyone stopped talking, and you rode swiftly out of Wuji County, heading straight for Xuzhou.

The horses equipped for your trusted aides were of superior quality, running swiftly. After losing the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Cao Pi no longer had any decent cavalry. Although he sent over two hundred ordinary cavalrymen to chase you, Xiao San and the others easily defeated them. Moreover, Xiao San and his comrades were very familiar with the local terrain, so you quickly escaped the pursuit of Cao Pi and Xiahou Dun.

"No, don’t go to Xuzhou... they’ll definitely have set up checkpoints." As it grew dark, your complexion worsened. You were constantly forcing your body along. If not for your strong inner strength suppressing the spread of the toxin in your meridians, you might have already died from the poison.

"Then what should we do?" Even though it was dark, they had no intention of stopping to rest and continued racing across the open fields.

"Enter the mountains, we need some herbs." As Hua Tuo’s direct disciple, you knew a bit about pharmacology. With the poison acting in your body, you urgently needed some herbs to control its spread; meanwhile, Xiao San and others were wounded and needed immediate treatment. You couldn’t let them suffer any more setbacks.

But Cao Pi obviously wouldn’t let you off easily. At dusk, a large troop suddenly approached from behind, the sound of roaring hooves incessant.

"They’ve indeed come!" Xiao San had clearly anticipated this and immediately pulled out a piece of clothing identical to yours from his bag, then donned a helmet to cover his head.

"Xiao San, what are you doing?" you asked weakly, turning to look at Xiao San.

Xiao San didn’t speak, he fiercely whipped his horse, suddenly leaping up and then tumbling to the ground, rolling over before mounting another horse. The horse you were on, startled, bolted forward, and Xiao San and others slowed down, watching you go far away.

"Xiao San, catch up with me quickly, or I’ll come back and whip you!"

Your voice came from the front, and Xiao San smiled, "Lord, we’ll be waiting for your return!"

Immediately, Xiao San led the others in a different direction.

You drifted in a daze on horseback for three days, remaining unconscious. During these three days, you remained on horseback, without a drop of water. By sheer luck, the horse, after losing human control, followed its instincts, entering the mountains and wandering seemingly at random, thus evading the pursuing forces.

When you finally lost your remaining strength, you fell off the horse straight into a mountain stream. Though the stream was shallow, the current carried you downstream. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

On a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, a woman was washing clothes by the stream. This woman’s face was exceptionally pretty, her skin as translucent as white jade, exuding an ethereal quality. Noticing you drifting down the stream, she initially showed signs of panic and even backed away several meters. The slow-moving water, dammed by stones and grass for ease of washing, left you floating on the surface, your life status unknown.

After watching for a long time, the woman mustered the courage to approach slowly. She noticed your luxurious though tattered clothing and obvious knife wounds, hesitating to come closer, instead shouting toward the nearby thatched house by the stream. Shortly after, a strong middle-aged man responded and came over.

"Little Mei, what’s going on?"

Seeing the man approach, the woman pointed to you in the water and said, "Daddy, there’s a dead person in the water."

"A dead person?" The man’s expression changed, hurriedly entering the stream. Feeling your breath with his hand, he exclaimed happily, "He’s still alive! Quickly, tell your mother to prepare; I’ll carry him over."

"Okay." Relieved to hear you weren’t dead, the woman turned and hurried to the thatched house.

As you opened your eyes, the first thing you saw was a clean face devoid of any makeup, clear eyes, and alabaster skin. This was a striking White Jade Beauty, pure as jade, enchanting as snow.

"You’re awake." The White Jade Beauty’s face lit up with a radiant smile as she saw your eyes open.

Despite the headache and the frailty of your body, you struggled to sit up. Glancing around, you found yourself lying on a simple wooden bed, which was actually just several wooden planks pieced together. The room was basic, yet spotlessly clean, and there was a faint floral fragrance in the air.

"Was it you who saved me?" you asked, looking at the White Jade Beauty.

The White Jade Beauty nodded lightly and suddenly, as if remembering something, quickly turned and said, "You’ve been unconscious for two days, you must be hungry. I’ve made you some rice soup."

Seeing her bring a bowl of rice soup that looked like starch broth, you smiled, took it, and downed it in one go, "Thank you, I feel much better."

"My daddy went up the mountain to gather herbs. He said you’ve been poisoned by a severe toxin. We can’t afford a doctor, so my dad went to gather herbs himself... But at least you’re alive now."

The White Jade Beauty, faced with your gaze, felt shy and lowered her head slightly, unsure of meeting your eyes.

You chuckled without saying more, adjusting your breath, and discovered that most of the two types of poison you had were already dispelled, likely due to the Five Elements Opera you practiced. You recalled that Master Hua Tuo had once said that the Five Elements Opera not only strengthens the body but also expels any toxin, particularly for someone like you with the innate talent of pure Five Elements.

The remaining toxins within you had been suppressed by your True Qi, ensuring your life was no longer in danger. However, you still felt weak and needed rest.

"Mei’er." At that moment, a woman entered from outside, carrying a basket in her hand. You glanced at it and noticed it contained wild vegetables and sweet potatoes.

"Mother." The White Jade Beauty responded, hurriedly running toward the woman.

The woman also noticed you and smiled, saying, "Young master, you’re awake."
